A heart for the hurting, a heart for the helpless, and a heart for the humiliated: the heart of Hilgers in this all-encompassing book. He has experienced all of this and more over the last 10 years and can write with complete authenticity. Over the last five years, Hilgers and I have borne our hearts without reservation as we have shared chapters of our lives together with the view in mind to support one another and build each other up. I have learned a lot from Hilgers. No matter where you are in your life's journey, you will find this book very relevant. Enjoy! - A FELLOW JOURNEYMAN While the penal system may feel less intimidating to repeat offenders who spend time in and out of it, it can be overwhelming and crushing to those who, particularly later in their lives, land there for the first time; often due to a one-time error in judgement. This book seeks to help the latter navigate such an experience, and also to expose the negative and counterproductive nature of the penal system culture. By sharing his own experience, Hilgers educates and forewarns first-time prisoners and their families of potential pitfalls, with the intent to spare them at least some of the pain and suffering he and his family endured. A compassionate and effective resource. - A FRIEND OF HILGERS This book gives an amazing insight into a world unknown to most people. The author has experienced this. His story is compelling, and a must read for everybody, not just those caught up in or involved with the justice system. This book's story cries out for much needed help for the mentally ill, and for a complete overhaul of the prison system. -MOTHER OF A SON (WITH A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM), WHO WAS INCARCERATED As a fellow Celebrate Recovery attendee, we walked through weekly meetings together for 4 years sharing our deepest secrets in a structure of complete acceptance; prayed and discussed our individual 'walk' during the commute. The author has been a powerful example to me of a man who has suffered, showed much courage, and through his new found faith is a new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17. An authentic man will write authentically. -BOB For those who have seen the show 'Undercover Boss', I've often wondered what the results would be if someone like a lawyer, judge, or police officer would go undercover into jail for at least six months. In this book Hilgers, through his personal experience brings to the forefront what it is like to go through the prison system. This book is a must read, and covers the experience from arrest, to jail, release and rebuilding one's life. -FATHER OF A SON WHO SURVIVED JAIL, AND REBUILT HIS LIFE
